Starcraft 2 Beta


Recommended Posts

As far as I'm aware, you'll need to log in to your Battle.net account and download it with the Blizzard downloader. Click here for instructions.

I tried downloading through my Battle.net account but even though I've set my language to English (EU), it keeps reverting my account back to Korean, so I'm left with the Korean installer.

Scirwode

Haha nice obi.

Yes kav meant you kav Ha.

Crompee and azies you guys are on the list. Cromp all I ask is just the minimum to pre order the game which is 5. Or move any reserve you

might have that you don't remember or don't want over.

You'll be suprised how many people have **** reserved but don't remember.

Anyway that's all I ask of you.

Az if you can please reserve it. If you can't or it's not available that's fine.

There I believe I have 3-5 keys left. Lost count lol.

Thanks muches :D Unfortunately I can't reserve it at the moment, bills are hitting me hard this month.

Dont worry Azries its understand.

about scirwodes issue : The site is just setting the wrong region. Instead of fussing with support, someone can pass him the 2.2 meg launcher and then itll download the installer for him and what not.

I sent him my US one and it worked, but he would prefer English EU which i dont blame him, he's comfortable with it.

About the keys : I pritnted them out today and TOTALLY FORGOT THEM THERE.

Ill have them tomorrow sometime. Ill keep you guys updated, sorry about the wait :(.

Just got my key from GameStop, went ahead and pre-ordered... Says the key has already been activated............ Slightly ****ed right now......

Thats...Not...Possible....

The database is a Digital Database given to US(Gamestop) by blizzard. Once a key is printed, its completely gone from the database.

Wow, this is very weird. I dont know about your gamestop, although the ones in IL are pretty cool besides up by mechesney park by the walmart. Anyway, take a picture of your monitor of battle.net saying that just incase.

Go to gamestop and tell them it was already activated and if you can get another key. If they need proof, show it too them. If still nothing, tell them you wanna cancel and reserve starcraft. If they STILL fuss, well ill personally call them and take care of it.

Tell me what Store, where in IL, and Store Number. Should be on your receipt.

Ill get you a if they STILL dont.

Can't spare $5?

Hey now, some people cant. I have 2 jobs right now, and will have 3 soon(hopefully, as bad as it sounds) just to stay "afloat". I live at home, but im trying to build credit and on top of that i wanna move out and blah blah blah.

Regardless, Bills and etc comes first > a pre order for a game/movie/whatever.

Ugh I feel your pain, I literally spend ALL of my money on my bills and food, I'm looking for a second job now just to have spending money but the US jobs situation is pretty bad, I'm just lucky to have one right now.

Well, a few keys later, I have one that works. My key wasn't printed on the receipt, they have a printed list on a clipboard and he gave the keys from there.

Anyway, take a picture of your monitor of battle.net saying that just incase.

Haha, I did just incase, but he was nice enough to do it right over the phone.

yeah some stores are still on dialip and are being upgraded finally. But those stores it's easier for them to print them out and put them on the clipboard. Only bad thing some employees fail at crossing them off.

But good I'm glad you got it fixed.

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
